What are you thankful for this holiday season?

With Thanksgiving next week and Christmas now right around the corner many of us take time to reflect on the blessings we have in our life and all that we are thankful for. Thursday many of us will spend the day in a cozy home with the smell of pumpkin pie making our tummies growl before we gather around the table with all our loved ones. Being able to have family fill our homes with laughter and love is a huge reason to be thankful for homeownership. This year we are taking time to reflect on reasons we are thankful for homeownership. We took the time to interview some of our clients on the reasons they are thankful for homeownership. Our hope is that one day everyone gets to feel this pride and thankfulness for a home that they own and worked hard for.

Our thankful clients

We interviewed a few of our previous clients who purchased their homes with us and asked what homeownership meant to them and why they were thankful for it. For many it is a place to make family memories that will last forever. One client that we’ve helped build investment properties said to her it means being invested in her neighborhood, community, and city. It means caring for something that will in turn take care of her and her family for years to come. She has been able to turn the properties she owns into income for her family through renting and Airbnb. Homeownership can do so much more than provide you with a place to sleep at night. Another client is thankful for homeownership because she is able to build equity and stability for her growing family. We are thankful that we get to work with such amazing people that are enjoying their homes so much.

Take some time this week to sit down and reflect on all you are thankful for and the blessings you have. We hope that you are surrounded by family and loved ones this holiday season in a home that is all yours is something on your list of blessings. If you know someone deserving of the happiness of homeownership let them know our annual OC Homeownership Day is coming up January 19th. Check out all the details here.
